Frequently asked questions
Are the startup perks guaranteed?
No. Each of the 320+ partners sets its own eligibility and decides on every request. A perk opens one of three ways: you request it through Ishara, apply on the partner's own programme, or open the link.
Who can use network offers?
Only the portfolio companies of that network. An offer reserved for one network's portfolio says so on its card, for example "via Wa'ed Ventures", and the partner checks eligibility. Listing a partner is not an affiliation.
Are all 1,200+ ways to apply open right now?
No. They are ways to apply, and each carries its own status: rolling, open or closed. Every route shows its type and what to prepare, and the tracker asks whether you submitted.
Is the SAFE template legal advice?
No. Templates are a starting point, and the SAFE and dilution calculator shows the arithmetic of a post-money SAFE. Take legal and financial advice before you sign anything.
What does the Startup hub cost?
Every workspace opens on the Free plan. Pro is $12 per seat per month, or $10 billed yearly, kept for 12 months for workspaces that pay before 15 March 2027. Prices exclude VAT, and Pro is arranged with our team.
